QLeft The constellations shining in the sky will lead you, shooting star, to tomorrow. In seventh position is Yachiyo Tsuruhime who embodies the constellation of Gemini. She portrays the tragedy faced by the two brothers with a tender look. From "Star Celebrate - To the First Day." QRight


The Shape of Fear

Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
(Gemini is an asymmetrical pair of stars. I can portray that by using black and white...and then make the whole thing feel cohesive by using decorations and lace.)


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
(Okay, it's just like I hoped. Using white for the chest area brings it all together.)


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
(There are two brothers... I haven't decided if I want to play Castor or Pollux yet.)


Karen (icon) ????:
Wow, is that costume for the special program!?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
That's ri—Karen-san!?


Karen (icon) Karen:
Heh heh, did I surprise you? I just ran into Shiori-chan and she told me that you were here.


Karen (icon) Karen:
I knocked on the door, but there was no answer so I decided to peek inside!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Never mind that! Why are you here at Siegfeld?


Karen (icon) Karen:
Huh? I sent you a message, didn't I...?


Karen (icon) Karen:
I wrote, "Thank you for coming to see my performance as Taurus! I want to talk more about the constellations, so I'm heading over there!!"...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I didn't get anything.


Karen (icon) Karen:
Huh!? What!? Whyyy...?


Karen (icon) Karen:
Oh no! I accidentally sent it to Hikari-chan!!


Karen (icon) Karen:
I got a reply back saying, "You don't have to let me know that you're coming for me to wait for you," so I rushed over... Oops...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Meaning that it is a habit for you to send messages to Hikari-san?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Heh heh, what an adorable mistake... You two really are close♪


Karen (icon) Karen:
Ngh, I'm so sorry! I left Hikari-chan waiting... Can I go apologize to her...?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Of course! I'll just be here working on costumes, so take your time♪



Karen (icon) Karen:
*sigh* BaKaren... I'm such a dummy...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Welcome back♪ Did Hikari-san forgive you?


Karen (icon) Karen:
Yeah. She said...she'd forgive me if I endure standing en pointe!


Karen (icon) Karen:
Ngh... Hikari-chan is so strict. I have to start mentally preparing myself!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
...That's so nice.


Karen (icon) Karen:
"That's so nice"...? What's so nice??


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
It's nice to surround yourself with people who lift you up♪


Karen (icon) Karen:
Is that what it looks like!? Then that makes me really happy!


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"Then I, Taurus, must also ask for a favor."


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"Please tell me the story of the twins with an inseparable bond."


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Heh... That was quite abrupt...


Karen (icon) Karen:
Huh?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
To tell you the truth, I'm at a loss as to how to portray Gemini.


Karen (icon) Karen:
Oh, I see... You would be caught off guard to be asked to improv without a script so suddenly!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Yes. "The constellations shining in the sky will lead you, shooting star, to tomorrow..."


Karen (icon) Karen:
That's right! A story in which us constellations pass on our most precious possession to the next!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
It is unclear as to what that precious possession is, though.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
The starting point lies within the constellation, but I guess it is up to us to decide in the end.


Karen (icon) Karen:
Hmm...


Karen (icon) Karen:
I know! If you're having a hard time deciding, why don't we ask Gemini directly!?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
...


Karen (icon) Karen:
Um, what is the story about the origin of Gemini again...?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
...The original myth is based on Zeus's twin sons, Castor and Pollux.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
The two brother were very close. However, the older brother was a mere mortal, while the younger brother had the immortality of a god.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Then one day, Castor perished in battle...


Karen (icon) Karen:
What!?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
It has a surprising turn of events, right? In his grief, Pollux went pleading to their father, Zeus.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
(Pollux)
"Please grant me death like my brother. We were born together and I want to perish together..."


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Moved by his plea, Zeus took away Pollux's divinity and transformed their bond into a constellation in the sky... The end♪


Karen (icon) Karen:
...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Haha! It's such a courageous story♪ That's what I call brotherly love—


Karen (icon) Karen:
Ya-Yachiyo-chan...


Karen (icon) Karen:
Yachiyo-chan... Why are you crying?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Huh...?

Until the End of Time

Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I'm...crying...?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Whoa, you're right! What's happening? The tears won't stop flowing... Heh, how embarrassing.


Karen (icon) Karen:
Yachiyo-chan...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Um... I'm not exactly asking for advice, but...I'm...I'm just going to talk to myself.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I have someone who is really really important to me.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I used to not have many friends to share the stage with, but she was always by my side... She always supported and guided me.


Karen (icon) Karen:
That's just like me and Hikari-chan!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Wow, I'm not sure if it's comparable to such a strong bond.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
But...to me, her existence was as important as performing.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
A lot has happened though, and now she just watches over me from the audience.


Karen (icon) Karen:
From the audience... You don't perform together?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
That's right. I made some great friends, so she gave up her position.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
But...I'm scared.


Karen (icon) Karen:
Scared?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Yes. She was always by my side, but now I wonder what she thinks when she watches me perform.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
It's easy to see my face from the audience, but because of the bright lights on stage, I can't see hers... That scares me...


Karen (icon) Karen:
...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I'm surrounded by a lot of friends that I am able to face head-on. Am I the only one shining and enjoying each day? Is it just me who is moving forward?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Should the two of us not have ended up just like Castor and Pollux, who perished together?


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
What expression does she have on her face as she watches me like now...? Maybe she's angry—


Karen (icon) Karen:
It's okay!!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Huh...?


Karen (icon) Karen:
She is someone who is as special to you as performing is, right? Then everything is definitely okay!


Karen (icon) Karen:
Because you love performing so much!


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
How can you be so sure...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
Maybe she despises me. If the person most precious to me feels that way, then I...


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"Tell me, Gemini...about your other half."


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
...!!


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"Tell me about your story, about your way of life, and...your most precious thing that came from all of it."


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
...I...



Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"I am angry at my brother for being an idiot!"


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"That anger must be because..."


Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"That's right! I'm angry that he wanted to die with me! Ugh, I wanted him to keep on living for my sake as well!"


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"Heh heh... I figured as much."


Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"Right? It's not hard to figure out! I mean, I guess it shows just how precious I am to him."


Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"And...it also makes me happy to know that that was how he felt about me."


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"Happy?"


Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"Each and every time he thinks of me our hearts become one."


Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"Our stars are a pair. Do you know what it is called when two lights shine as one?"


Karen (icon) Karen:
(Io)
"I'm not sure... Will you tell me?"


Yachiyo (icon) ????:
(Castor)
"Heh heh! Sure. It's something much more important than anything the shooting star can deliver for us—"



???? & Yachiyo:
(Castor - Pollux)
"It's 'love'."

Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I was surprised when I heard that the concept of the special program was the constellations. I couldn't believe that I would be portraying Gemini!

Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
I wanted some inspiration for this request, so I did something I wouldn't normally do and looked up at the night sky...


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
When I saw the glimmering stars, I felt like I was watching from the audience. I just couldn't get enough if that feeling.


Yachiyo (icon) Yachiyo:
But right at that moment, Mei Fan interrupted my thoughts, going, "Are you looking at the stars!?" Hehe, it turned into a fun stargazing party.
